Alice Lipping

Artist Statement:Alice is mainly a non-representational color painter that works on a large-scale format, but also works on a smaller scale for a variation of styles and techniques. Her work is about using minimal color and the process of layering to achieve a sense of depth and movement. This process is a way of fusing the act of painting with an experimentation of various materials to produce texture, which adds another element to draw the viewer into the work. She uses acrylic paint and mixed media to emulate the look of a wall cracking and peeling. The final outcome is work influenced by her photography of distressed spaces and surfaces, to convey the concept of how things change over time and the beauty of the forgotten. She is also creating digital paintings on her IPad as sketches for her work.
